TOPICS OF INTEREST REEATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
1-•• riling Pumpkins to Knlne.
Pumpkins, like wheat bran, are useful
adjuncts to the more concentrated kinds
of food, but alone cannot be depended
upon for fattening purposes. Hogs in
process of fattening should be filled up
w.th a good meal of corn before the
pumpkin is given, otherwise they will
eat too mu h pumpkin in proportion to
the corn. By all means cut open the
pumpkins and remove the seeds before
feeding, as large quantities of pumpkin
seed street the urinary organs injurious
ly'. Any change during the feeding sea
son should be from light to heavier and
more nutritious fod ; never ttic reverse.
\\ h:le gradti illy increasing the quantity
of fattening food, do not give more than
the animals will eat up clean, and let the
rations be at regular hours early in the
morning, at noon and late in the even
ing.— New York World.
Enclosing Straw Stacks.
As the object of most farmers who
grow grain is to work the straw into
manure as quickly as possible, stock is
usually allowed the free access to it.
They will work large holes in it, usually
on the fide next the barn, where the car
rier has deposited the larger portion of
the clnfT, to. fine to be easily pitched
over the stm k. 4 his liner portion is a
valuable feed, and more nutritious than
the coarser part of the stalks below the
head. In getting it from the s aek by
pulling it out. more is wasted than is
eaten. If the stack is fenced in, this
part may be cut down and fed to cattle
and horses in their mangers, while the
coarser part may be thrown out as bed
ding. If there is a large stack, and any
likelihood of scarcity of hay or stalks,
this economy in the use of the better part
of the straw will more than repay the ex-
Ira trouble. By using more grain much
of the straw may be fed to stock, keep
ing them better and making better ma
nure than the results from using straw
only as bedding.— Cultivator.
Salt and Wooil Ashes.
Mr. Joseph E. Case reports to the
Mirhiy m Farmer that during a live
years' test ho has found salt and wood
ashes, a barrel per acre, mixed half and
linlf, a specific against cutworms in
cornfields, and this in a region where
the pe ts are very destructive. “One of
my neighbors planted twice and the
worms took all the first planting, and
were so bad the second that he dragged
part of his field qnd sowed rutabagas.
Two more have given up and have no
corn. I sow the mixture right ahead of
the plow; (1 n’t sow any more than I
can plow under in half a day, or one day
at. most; then I get it under with the
green sod, which the worms have to
teed on before the corn conics up. Two
ycais ago I planted two ten-acre fields
to corn; on one sowed salt and ashes be
fore plow ng; planted both the same
time. \\ hen the corn came wp the field
I sowed with salt and a-hes had no
worms; on the other, as soon as the
corn came up the worms commenced
thoir work. L then applied equal parts
of salt, ashes and plaster, mixed well
together, for too much salt, I think, will
kill tho young plants. The worms
stopped their work, and my corn came
on and was a good crop.
liaising Sheep.
How I raise my sheep was the topic of
a successful wool-grower at the meeting
of the lowa live-stock men. lie said ;
“1 would prefer pure bred stock, b it as
that is expulsive I usually get grades
and breed up, for it takes but a short
time to breed up a good flock. I have
always used pure bred Merino rams, be
ing convinced that for profit, where
sheep are kept in iloeks of 100 or more,
1 here is no equal to tho Merino and its
crosses. I aim to couple so as to have
lambs droppe 1 as soon as grass comes in
spring. I want lambs to come early, yet
mot before there i-pastureenough so that
the ewes-will have plenty of milk. Dur
ing lambing time I k- ep a close watch,
ami it a lamb is dropped—unless it is
warm weather- I see that it goes to the
stable at once and ns soon as possible see
that it sucks—alter which no further
care is needed, except in storms. I aim
to castrate ail lambs before three weeks
old, and wean them by September Ist.
During summer 1 know nothing better
titan good blue grass and that kept pret
ty short, as sheep do not like long grass.
1 never feed grain in summer; yet when
pasture is short, 1 think a little grain
would pay I feed lightly at first in the
tall, but by the time w inter sets in I aim
to give full feed of about one bushel of
corn to 100 head per day. with plenty of
hay; whilo on dry feed in winter it is
important that sheep should have plenty
of water. AN hen the cold fall rains com
mence they should be kept dry; no sheep
will thrive when its coat of wool is
soaked full of water. Good care and
shelter are just as important as good
feeding, for sheep well sheltered will
shear from one to two pounds more per
fleece than when exposed to the weather,
aud the wool will sell for a higher price
in the market. With fine-wool sheep
the w 00l can be left on until quite late in
the season first, because there is great
danger of losing she.p by cold storms,
if sheared too early in the season: and,
second, the wool is not in the best con
dition unt 1 the “grease” raises, which
will not be until the weather is quite
warm. We usually sell a? soon as the
clip is ready. I think the Merino sheep
and their crosses the most profitable, be
came they, being much smaller, eat less,
and shear more than the coarser ones.
You can keep at least five fine wools on
the same feed you keep three coarse
ones.

Although the short-horn is one of the
largest breeds of cattle, it is stated that
cow of that breed, belonging to Mr.
David Niles, of Pickaway County, Ohio,
gave birth to a calf weighing only eight
pounds. It was well developed.
The ingredients of commercial fertil
izers, upon which both their agricultural

The first thing to do before storing
corn in the crib is to have the crib rat
proof and well protected against beating
rains. Bats will destroy moregrain than
the most liberal estimate allows for loss,
and the crib should be so protected as
to prevent them from getting in through
any source.
A ripe, dry onion contains at least
eighty per cent, of water, and when a
large mess of them are together they are
likely to “sweat.” And yet, in order to
preseive onions during the winter, the
great point is to keep them dry. If in
a cold climate, it is as welt to suffer
them to freeze solid, and stay frozeu un
til wanted in the spring.
The following de cribe the character
istic points of excellence in any breed of
hogs: Face short, tine, and well dis ed ;

straight; ribs well ar hid, making the
legs broad an 1 strong; hips good length;

soft; legs short, straight and strong.
It may be surprising to some farmers
to be told that filling a ho se’s lack with
hay, as some do, and permitting a con
stant supply to remain before the animal,
is one of the most probable m ans of pro
ducing disease, and the most positive in
rendering the animal unfit for fast work.
I.urge supplies of hay have the effect of
making the stomach la ge and weak.
Everybody knows, too, that the ventila
tion of the stable should be as perfect as
possible, to that all the odors and gases
will have an opportunity t > escape.
If the drinking water be ice-cold it
will require tho consumption of much
j extra feed (fuel) to bring if up to blood
j heat in the stomach. The animal is taxed
j to digest and assimilate this extra load
of foo 1 above that required for the ordi
nary p irposes of sustaining life and
making muscle and fat. Would it not
pay for the farmer, in addition to warm
siables, to have same method of warming
the water for his flock? Wood and coal j
j are certainly cheaper fuel than hay or j
grain. At least it will pay to give wa'cr
fresh from the well, aud not allow it to
stand until chilled. To allow them to
drink from a fro en stream or pond is j
wasteful and barbarous.
One may keep ten or twelve fowls j
with profit who could not double or i
treble this number sue essfullv, because j
with a larger number all the difficulties j
which arise, such as want of cleanliness. I
the presence of vermin, impure air, and |
i risk of infection, increase in a much i
larger ratio than does the number in the !
flock. But if one has succeeded with a ;
small flock there is no reason why he j
- should not do so with several flocks, if
each is kept in just the same manner as
the original one. Afterward the flocks
i may be enlarged, but as this is the very
point on which young poultry raisers fail
the greatest caution should be observed
in adding to the number of fowls kept j
in each coop or house or yard.

BLITZ NEVER BEATEN.
fli# Fam im liaaket Trick Don* Tears
anil Years o i the Bowery.
(Frurn the Chicago News.)
One of the most famous public ex
hibitions of Signor Blitz was to walk
down ( hatham street with a cavalry
sword strapped to his belt, accompanied
by a boy carrying an ordinary looking
willow clothesbaskot. Arriving at the
Bowery corner, “Sid” would commence
a harangue, as though he had merchan
dise to sell, fir.-t performing a few in
teresting feats, just for the benefit of
the public. Taking he basket from
the hands of his boy assistant he would
hold it aloft, turning it about that all
might see its common structure, then
set it down, bottom upward, n the
street, enjoining the surrounding audi
ence to see that no one approached
where it stood. His next move was to
speak to the boy, calling him to hii
side Receu ing no reply, he di covered,
to his own embarassment and the dis
appointment of the crowd, that the
boy had “slopped” and hid himself
from view. No amount of calling,
hunting, or searching, even by the
anxious lookers-on, could find where he
had concealed himself. Finally, when
the people were ready to turn away in
disgust at being thus fooled in their ex
pectation of seeing some remarkable
show, Blitz v ould cry out: “Never
mind, good friends, if the boy has given
me the slip I’ll play the trick without
him.”
With this he would take up the
basket again, when, behold! out would
pop the boy from beneath. Giabbing
the scamp before lie could make his
escape, Blitz would give him a couple
of cuffs about the ears, accompanying
the boxing with angry words and end
ing the drubbing with chucking the lac
under the bas et and telling him he
could stay there now for not letting the
people know where he was hid when
everybody was hunting him. Of course,
the boy would squirm and struggle to
get out, but Blitz, thoroughly mad,
would climb upon the basket on his
knee -, saying: “You infernal rogue, if
you don't keep quiet I'll fix you!” With
that he would pull his sword from its
scabbard, and the boy continuing his
struggles, Blitu would thrust the sharp
blade into the side of the basket repeat
edly. The boy would yell with pain,
crying “Murder!” and 4 Help!” while
tne infuriated master exclaimed “I’ll
kill you,” and keep thrusting the blade
into the poor boy’s body. The crowd,
aroused at such inhuman brutality,
would rush forward to rescue the boy
from apparent death, when the basket,
being overturned, would be found to be
empty. The excited mob, supposing
that Blitz had murdered the boy and
disposed of him by his sorcery, would
be about to wreck th ir vengeance upon
his person, when he once more lifted
the basket nd disclosed the assistant
alive and unhurt. Not until the very
last development of the trick was it evi
dent tha the senses of a hundred people
had been iutrgled.
Sold 0! s Snowha ling.
In January, 1864, while the Confeder
ate troops were in winter quarters at
Dalton, there came a big snow-storm
find 20,0!'0 troops went into a jregulap |
organized snowballing. On one side ol |
a branch was the parade ground of the
Georgia and South Carolina troops, an J j
back of that the quarters. On the op
posite side of the branch was the parade
ground of the Tennesseeans and back ol
their parade ground were their quarters.
The ground was frozen to a depth of five
feet, the snew was a foot deep and no
indications of melting. A day was ap
pointed for a snow battle. The Tennes
seeans marched out and formed a line ol
battle, their drums beating, bugles blow
ing, colors flying and officers mounted.
Every soldier had a knapsack full ol
snowballs. The Georgians formed and j
prepared to make the attack by crossinp j
the branch There were 10,000 men or !
each side and the scene was very impos j
ing. As soon as the Georgians crossed
the branch they met a terrific fusiladf j
from the Tennesseeans, who -were at
home in the snow. The commander oi j
the Tennesseeans, a handsome felloe I
named Gordon, who was from Franklin, I
Tenn., was captured., but a bold dasl |
was made by the Tennesseeans, and In j
was rescued. The Georg ans and South i
Carolinians, being unused to the snow, j
were at a great disadvantage and were
forced to back across the branch. At !
the Tennesseeans crossed the branch j
they wet their snowballs, and the next |
volley fired at the Georgia and Caroline
boys was terrible in its effect. Pressing j
on, the Tennesseeans captured the quar- !
ters and proceeded to loot the who < j
shebang, carrying off rations, tobacco, j
pipes, and everything that did not be !
long to the government. That snow j
balling, in which 20 000 men took part, j
was no doubt the biggest thing of the '
kind t at ever occurred in Georgia, oi j
will ever occur again. —Atlanta ( Ga.'j I

turn to Paris that the mortality was
daily on the increase, he began to enter
tain doubts as to the efficacy of vaccina

solve the problem lo his own satisfac

and. going a fortnight afterward to the
Chante llosj ital, he courageously had
himself inoculated with the- virus of a
man who was dying of the small pox.
No ill effects having resulted fiom the

completely won over to the cause of

A HORSE GRILLED ALITE.
The ‘team denting Company’s Pitfall ns
Park Row an Oven.
In the excavation on Park Row, in
'ront of the Potter Building, in order
hat the New York Steam Heating Com
pany might repair its main pipe, a horse
verished Wednesday morning by roast
ug upon the hot iron pipe. The ani
ual was three hours dying, and only its
•brill shiieks of agony, that as time
yore on sank into moaning cries of
vlmost human intensity, evinced the
ort-ire it suffered. The blinding vapor
;hat floated over the pit made its tren
ded struggles unseen.
'i lie horse was owned by Edward
Southard, wholesale newspaper dealer,
)f 80 C linton Place. Robert Gordon,
if No. 401 East Seventeenth street, was
iriving one of Mr. Southard’s delivery
wagons laden with newspapers. It was
aalf-past four o’clock in the morning
ind very dark. Gordon says that he
ivas driving rapidly up Park Row, the
ivagon wheels rolling along the ear
tracks. When just in front of th s pit
:he horse shied at the white vapor,
caught his right hind hodf in the plank
ing between the tracks, fell, and in his
itruggles to regain his footing demol
ished the barricade of boards and tum
bled into the hole. Gordon held the
reins until the animal had disappeared
ind was dragging the wagon after,
vhen he leaped out, cut the traces and
eft him to his fate.
One of Mr. Bergh’s ambulances was
summoned by telephone at ten miuutes
:o seven a. m., over two hours after the
ic ident. Having made sure that the
horse was dead, a derrick was hoisted
aver the pit, and one of tho society’s
employees, a courageous colored man,
jumped in with a spade and felt around
for places to put the rope and chain
Had any life remained in the
horse he would have been kicked and
possibly maimed for life if not killed.
The bottom of the hole w r as much
more narrow than the top, being only
four feet long and two wide, and this
funnel was gridironed by other*pipes
besides the large steam main. The
horse lay on his back, w edged so that
his back lay on the hot main, which
had almost cooked the flesh from his
hones. His head was jammed against
the earth and his legs were tangled up
imong the pipes. The horse could
never have been rescued alive, nor could
he have been shot, owing to the blind
ing steam cloud.
Mr. Bergh’s society is collecting evi-
Jence with the design of suing the
■Team Heating Company for violating
he law, which enforces adequate safe
guards against just such accidents as
this. The company, on the other hand,
have secured two affidavits to the effect
:hat the fencing was in position and
i red light burning ten minutes before
Mr. Southard’s horse fell. A truckman,
who claims to have seen the whole
iffair. told the superintendent of the
society that Gordon was driving fast
dong Mail street, from Broadway, and
crashed directlyinto the barricade.
“It is probable that the company will
make some compromise with Mr. South
ird,” said the superintendent of Mr.
Bergh’s society, “as he cares only for
;he value of the horse. We care noth
ing for its value, only for the principle
nvolved, and will not compromise.”—

Hideous Crime In France.
A Paris letter to the London Daily
News has the following: It is hard to
conceive any more awful crime than the
burning alive some time since of an old
woman by her children, yet a case of
die murder of a brother under circum
stances well nigh as appalling is being
:ried before the Ardeche Assizes, and
sheds a gruesome light on a hideous
side of the cliaiacterof too many French
peasants, and suggests the query, are
[lie worst Parisians as bad as the worst
rustics? The pair of malefactors tried
in the Ardeche killed their brother in
his bed, and cut u A nd boiled his re
mains to feed their pigs. The indict
ment states that the brothers Faure
lived together in the hamlet of Barnas,
in the Ardeche mo ntaius. Claude,
the < lder one, was a widower, and had
saved up a small fortune. His brother
•Jean, who was idle and covetous, was in
a state verging upon misery. lie had
married a woman named Rosine Plan
eher, who urged him on to all manner
of wickedness, and she seemed to have
remotely inherited the character of her
grandfather, who had been sentenced to
penal servitude for life for having been
an accessory to burning a woman alive.
Claude, the elder brother, had the mis
fortune to say that he intended to leave
his money to a near neighbor, a Mme.
Drc-.on. From that moment he was a
doomed man. One night Jean went up
to his brother’s bedroom and broke in
his head with a ciowbar. Behind him
were his wife and her brother, an ex
pjlicemm, who has hanged himself in
prison, who were abetting him. They
all three carried the body down stairs
to the stables, where they sawed it to
bitsf and after this boiled the remains
in a caldron, t getter with potatoes
and cabbages for the pigs. Jean
buried the bits of skin in a field, and
threw away the bones in a mountain
rift; but "the wa of transgressors is
hard.” These precautions availed them
nothing. Ihe neighbors suspected a
foul murder and helped the police to
rind the few lestering remains, and then
the murderers owned to their guilt.
In court Jean Faure attempted to cast
all the blame upon his wife, who, he
said, had urged him on bv threats of
poison and set him when drunk to do
the deed. Rosine was then ushered in.
She first denied everything, but when
the presiding Judge told her what her
husband had said she cried out to him:
‘ Wretched man! I wanted to save you,
and I would have taken all on my own
shoulders. ” Here Jean Faure was taken
ill. and so the court adjourned.

A Corps 6. but no Pauper.
Mrs. Ann Eliza Young, an aged widow,
once quite well to and , and 'residing ali
her life at Tuckakoe, was taken to the
Westchester County Almshouse and died
in the carriage which landed her at the
door. Instead of being received there
as a pauper she was carried in a corpse.
The old'lady wept all the way to the
Almshouse, and prayed that death
might overtake her before she became a
pauper. Her prayer wag answered at
the very threshold. When the carriage
stopped at the great door which is
opened to so many unfortunates, she
looked out of the carriage window, gave
a shriek thiew up her hands, and fell
over dead. She died of shock and ex
citement. — X. Y. Herald.
